Little Boy

© 2016 Mark Cote

The smile she feels
the side you see
never seen by you
little girl inside
no longer hides
her love is true
little boy

she outgrew you
and all the games
children play
to hold you down
she wore a frown
not anymore
little boy

(chorus) little boy
                  do you miss her kiss
                  wonder who she's with
                  little boy
                  little boy
                  do you gaze in wonder
                  the spell she's under
                  little boy do you miss her
                  'cause she's sure not missing you

pick up your toys
and turn away
another playground
another day
what would your mama say
little boy

(chorus)

On The Wild Side Of NYC

© 2016 Mark Cote

I plant my feet
neon lights
living streets
and the rush of the chaos flying down 42nd street
you smell the air
the gusts of what is going down
so much to take in
for a boy from a smaller town

(chorus) NYC
                  on the wild side of NYC
                  NYC
                  anything goes in NYC
                  it may shock you
                  it may open your eyes
                  it might tame you
                  show another side
                  anything goes
                  anything goes
                  anything goes...
                  anything goes on the wild side of NYC

pan handlers
and streets of desire
ones who lost out
fat cat just gets higher
nose scratchers and street actors and all the sites
the one with the gun
the girls who sell the night

(chorus)
(instrumental)

NYC
on the wild side of NYC
NYC
anything goes in NYC
it may shock you
it may open your eyes
it might tame you
show another side
         

anything goes on the wild side
anything goes on the wild side
anything goes on the wild side
